I chose to look around the Writers Write website. It offers advise to writers, writing courses, and writing motivation. One of the articles I most enjoyed was "45 Ways to Avoid Using the Word 'Very.'" I thought the quote it started with was very funny:
The article then gives a chart with adjectives commonly used after the word "very" and then gives a word that means "very (insert adjective)." Sometimes when I am writing, one of the harder parts is picking strong adjectives; this chart gives me a go-to list.
I also liked the article "20 Myths to Use as Writing Prompts." The articles does not give specific stories to base your writing off, like I usually do for this class, but rather gives general myths to use as a starting point. A few of the ideas I thought were most interesting were "Write a myth to explain why the moon changes shape" and "Write a myth to explain how bees got their sting."
I thought this website was helpful because it has resources for different types of writing. While I mostly looked at the Creative Writing part for this class, there was also information about Business Writing, Blogging and Social Media, and Miscellany.
"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to use the word 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." -Mark Twain
